Arabella is the kind of girl no one understands. It's not that anything's wrong with her; she prefers to keep to herself. Shrouded in mystery, her whole life has been difficult since childhood, and her mangled mind never seems to be at peace. Unable to handle her inner turmoil, the nihilistic 17-year-old turns away and runs from her pack and patronizing older brother. Only looking ahead, she goes on, trying to save what's left of her youth.
Taking on her teenage odyssey, she meets various people who end up meaning more to her than she thinks. She takes on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance for what fate lays ahead for her- and finding herself feeling alive before the sunrise.

Tranquillity
Arabella D'Angelo is just a shell of a girl, a mere presence floating through the halls of her Los Angeles home. Her once bright grey eyes and sunshine-like spirit was crushed by the weight of her abusive parents. Living in a constant state of fear and despair, the sixteen year old girl endured the endless cycle of violence and cruelty that had plagued her everyday. She had learned to keep her head down, her voice silent and her pain buried deep within her fragile heart. Quiet and reserved were the only terms that could describe her closed-off persona. But then, in a cruel yet fortunate twist of fate, a tragedy struck. Arabella's parents were killed in a mysterious but deadly car crash, the wreckage leaving behind nothing but burnt ashes. Their abrupt deaths opened the doors to a new chapter in Arabella's eventful life, as her custody was now handed over to her elder brother, Damon D'Angelo. While Damon had everything a man could ever wish for, he didn't have that one thing, or person in this case, that he longed for everyday. His baby sister, whom he would kill or get killed for, no hesitation whatsoever. Him and his brothers were never this happier when they heard about their sister's arrival in their abode. Finally, things are looking up for them. The question is, for how long? Join the journey of the D'Angelo siblings, who go through hell and back, facing every single challenge thrown at their face and overcoming it with everyone by their sides. After all, it is the D'Angelo blood they got running through veins.
